By JERRY ESTES
Sports News Editor
Head Coach 0. V. Chafin of
Consolidated High School has an
nounced his resignation to become
effective some time in April.
Chafin has accepted the Head
Coaching job at Bishop, Texas, “I
hate to leave,” he said, “but I
was made such a better offer I
just couldn’t turn it down.”
A&M Consolidated School Board
of Trustees unanimously accepted
his letter of resignation at their
meeting Monday, Feb. 9. In his
letter, Chafin said, “I believe the
new job is an advancement in my
profession.”

to see, and am glad to see.” Rich
ardson explained he was glad to
see Chafin get a better job, and
sorry to lose him.

Chafin is just finishing his
fourth highly successful season as
mentor of the Tiger’s football,
basketball, baseball, and tradk
teams. He came to Consolidated
from Hearne where he was head
basketball coach and assistant
football coach.
In the four seasons at CHS,
Chafin has seen his football teams
emerge as district champs, district
co-champs, runners-up, and third
place contenders.
Assistant coach Jim Bevans was
recommended by Chafin, as his
successor in his letter of resigna
tion. According to Richardson, the
recommendation is to be accepted.
“Bevans is more than well qual
ified for the job”, Chafin said. “I
give the credit for my success
these past four seasons to him,”
Chafin continued.
Although Chafin will coach only
football, he has proven to be quite
capable in the capacity of basket
ball and track coach. The Tigers
have brought home three district
championships and on runner-up
trophy in the four years of Cha-
fin’s basketball tutelage.
“We had a fine group of boys
while I was here” Chafin said,
“and I am leaving a fine bunch.”
“I have had good co-operation
fro in the fans and school officials
which makes it even harder to
leave,’.’ Chafin said.
Bevans will have a rough sche-

The Aggie varsity and fish bas
ketball teams tonight in Austin
meet Texas University in a doub
leheader.
The varsity squad will be trying
to balance their conference record
at four wins and four losses, while
the fish will still be looking for
victory number one.
It took Baylor 39 minutes and
58 seconds to move into the lead
in the Saturday game at DeWare
Field House, but two seconds was
n’t enough time for the Ags to
stage a rally, and they suffered a
one-point defeat, 47-46.
Leroy Miksch led Aggie scorers
with 17 points as the Farmers
dropped their first home court con
ference game.
v
Cubs Down Fish
In the Fish-Cub curtainraiser,
the Baylor Cubs led all the way
as Fortenberry again was impres
sive, scoring five field goals and
10 free tosses to rack up 20 points
and game high scoring honors.
CHS Past
Yeguas; Try
Snook Tonite
Consolidated’s Tigers cleared
their last obstacle before their
game with Snook tonight, by
dowming the Somerville Yeguas
58-33 in Tiger gym Friday night.
The Tigers will carry a record
of eight wins against one loss in
to the game tonight. With Snook
holding the same record, the win
ner should walk off with district
honors. CHS’s only loss was to
Snook earlier this year.

son sticking to his usual role of

points for the Tigers. Roger Mc-
Minn was high scorer for Somer

Careful, Thar!
By A1 Capp
Aggie defensive tactics in the
varsity game were centered around
closing up the middle when the
ball was fed in to Baylor’s high
scoring Starkey, and the plan paid
off as Starkey marked up only two
field goals and seven free throws
for a total of 11 points;‘The de
fense plan earned a stamp of ap
proval as Starkey took only one
shot at the basket in the entire
second half.
Baylor Leads SWC
The Baylor victory, however,
moved them up into sole possession
of first place with a record of
five wins and two losses, TCU and
Texas are in the runner-up posi
tion with marks of four victories
and two defeats. Rice and Arkan
sas jointly hold down spot number
four with a three and three mark,
A&M is sixth, having a conference
mark of three wins and four loss
es, and SMU is winless in six out
ings.
After tonight’s game in Austin,
the Aggies journey to Fayetteville
for a Saturday night clash with
the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Street scene in Tehachapi after last July’s earthquake.
EARTHQUAKE...
In the predawn of last July 21, the most
severe California earthquake since 1906 struck
the small town of Tehachapi.
Walls were collapsing, buildings were fold
ing. The town’s telephone office shook to its
foundation. But the night operator remained
at her switchboard until it went dead. Main
cables to the office were pulled to the ground
when a nearby wall caved in.
This was at 4:50 A.M.
By 8:30 A.M. telephones were set up on the
edge of town for use by the Red Cross and
other emergency workers.
By late afternoon, the telephone switch
board was working. Tehachapi residents were
able to contact friends and relatives concerned
about their safety.
By 9 P.M. two TV stations were sending live
telecasts of the damage. Telephone men had
established a radio-relay system in less than
12 hours.
It was a typical disaster— brutal and un
announced. But telephone men were prepared.
I hey quickly restored cominunicalion when
it was needed most. They demonstrated the
resourcefulness and technical skill typical of
telephone people.
These are some of the qualities we seek in
the college graduates we hire. Your Place
ment Officer can give you details about oppor
tunities for employment in the Bell System.
